Chapter 391: Emotional Confusion and Strong Will
Shen Li walked back to her room with unsteady steps, her eyes fixed on the carved bed. She collapsed onto the bed powerlessly as if all her bones and muscles had been pulled out.
Her eyes were empty as she stared at the curtains above the bed, her gaze unfocused. Her heart seemed to be tangled in a tangled mess that could not be cut or sorted out. She was filled with confusion and bewilderment, and could not figure anything out.
Recalling the scene not long ago, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
At that time, she smiled, picked up the dishes herself, and fed them gently to his mouth. The two of them were so close that they could hear each other's breath.
There was a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of tenderness. The warm and sweet breath was like a soft gauze, wrapping them tightly, and even the air in the room was filled with a hint of sweetness.
But who would have thought that it was just a careless joke, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed like a different person.
In an instant, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and his eyes, which were originally full of affection, were instantly filled with frost, freezing cold. His sarcastic words were like poisoned blades, piercing her heart directly, and every bite was painful.
Her heart felt as if it were being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe. She could not understand why a person could be so fickle, being like the warm spring sun one moment and turning into a cold winter blizzard the next.
Shen Li slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm her trembling body and turbulent emotions.
She muttered silently in her heart, he knew very well that she had known Su Ran and Nangong Qi for a long time, and for so many years, she had always treated them as her own brothers and had never had any feelings between them.
Over the years, the Shen family has experienced many ups and downs, and their friendship with Master Su Ran has long been as deep as a rock, pure without a trace of impurities. Moreover, when he was unconscious, he and Cangyue Pavilion protected the Shen family and Fuxi County Lord's Mansion in many ways, which is a favor that he cannot repay.
As for Nangong Qi, it was because of their childhood friendship and the joy of reunion, but he also had some other considerations in his heart. After all, he was now the Crown Prince of Xiqi and would be the future Lord of Xiqi. Being on good terms with him played a key role in peace and stability.
Today, the world is in turmoil, with foreign powers threatening our world like ravenous wolves. While China may appear to be temporarily isolated and secure, it faces undercurrents and dangers all around it.
The hidden threat is like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, ready to spring up at any time and tear apart China's territory and dignity.
The heavy responsibility of protecting China's territorial integrity is like a mountain pressing on the hearts of every knowledgeable person.
As a member of China, she has an obligation to do so. This is a mission engraved in her bones and a burden that she cannot shirk in her lifetime.
The joint development of the four countries is of vital importance at this moment. It is not only related to China's economic prosperity, but also a key layout to seek a glimmer of hope for survival and development in this complex and dangerous international situation to resist the covetousness of the great powers.
Everything she did was not out of selfish motives. She did it only to help China gain a firm foothold among the powerful countries, become prosperous and strong, and build an indestructible barrier to deter those powers with ulterior motives.
In the process of interacting with Su Ran and Nangong Qi, she keenly realized that these two people were by no means ordinary people, and both possessed extraordinary wisdom, profound strategies and unique methods.
Shen Li knew very well that the road ahead was full of thorns. If China could get their full support, it would be even more powerful. Their strength would become an indispensable force for China's rise.
Thinking of this, Shen Li's eyes gradually became firm, with a sparkling light flashing in them.
She secretly swore in her heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, she would never back down even if she had to give up everything and sacrifice her personal feelings.
This may be the arrangement of fate, the mission and responsibility she has come across. She will do her best for the prosperity of China until her death.
